Loss to California " Minemakers.
New YORK. January 27th.-In letter to
the Tribune, r. F. Clayton, Secretary of the
National Viticultural Association, says that
recent dispatch concerning the resigna-
ton of c. A. Wetmore from the California
Viticultural Commission does that gentle
man injustice, and declares that his place
cannot be filled, as those who have by
their Misrepresentation and abuse driven
him in sheer disgust into resgning will
find out TO their cost and deep regret Clay
ton declares that the bills introduced in
Congress last winter are only opposed by
those engaged in one way or another in
making or handling artificial, stretched or
otherwise bedeyiled wines and brandes.
He adds: Wetmore represents the brains
and decency of the California wine inter
ests,s and his Withdrawal from the Com
mission is nothing short of a calamity.
Those who are snarling at his heels are
either wine stretchers or fabricators. or
possibly set of tight-fsted hiGe-bound
farmers, who know no better than to blame
him because they cannot get $3.50 ton
for their grapes and 81 a gallon for their
wines"
